Hi We've here some problems with Samba on a freeBSD-Server.
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE Samba Version 3.0.25a The problem is about locking of open files. For example when a user A opens a excel-sheet and a user B also opens the same file, user B won't only open this file as read-only. We moved from a Windows Server to a freebsd based one about 2 weeks ago and we also had some problems with dbs and mdb files. Then I was able to fix the problem with the following entry under the global section in the smb.conf veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.dbf/*.DBF We have the problems with the office documents since 2 days and I can't remember to have something changed in samba config. I also red this article. http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_05.html Now I'm wondering if someone got some more experiences with samba and the way locks are handled? Does freeBSD support kernel oplocks? I also compared this behavior with our Synology NAS-Server and there seems to be no problem with handling locks.
